Payments & Refund Policy

We understand that life happens and plans can change. Because Vagabond X trips require significant advance planning and non-refundable bookings with accommodations, guides, transportation, and other partners, the following cancellation policy applies to all Vagabond X Travel experiences.

By submitting a deposit or payment toward a Vagabond X trip, you acknowledge and agree to the terms below.

Deposits

A $750 deposit is required to reserve your spot on a Vagabond X trip.

All deposits are non-refundable.

Your spot is not considered confirmed until your deposit has been received.

Payment Plans

We offer several flexible ways to pay for your Vagabond X trip, including Zelle, ACH/bank transfer, debit card, credit card, Venmo, and more.

ACH, debit card, and Zelle payments have no additional processing fee.

Payments made by credit card, Venmo, or other third-party payment platforms are subject to a 3% processing fee.

If you're unsure which payment method works best for you, just reach out and we're happy to help!

After the initial deposit, the remaining trip balance may be divided into up to three payments.

Payments may be spaced a maximum of one month apart, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by Vagabond X Travel.

The full remaining balance must be paid no later than six weeks before the trip start date.

Failure to make payments by the agreed-upon deadlines may result in the loss of your spot and any non-refundable payments already made.

Cancellations More Than 6 Weeks Before Departure

If you cancel more than six weeks before the trip start date, payments made toward the trip beyond your $750 non-refundable deposit are eligible for a refund.

The $750 deposit will not be refunded.

Any non-refundable processing, transaction, or transfer fees are also excluded from the refund.

Cancellations Within 6 Weeks of Departure

If you cancel within six weeks of the trip start date, all payments made toward the trip are non-refundable.

At this stage, Vagabond X has committed funds to accommodations, transportation, guides, activities, hosts, and other trip expenses that generally cannot be recovered.

Trip Credits & Exceptional Circumstances

We understand that serious and unexpected circumstances can occur.

Vagabond X may, at its sole discretion, offer a partial or full trip credit toward a future Vagabond X experience in exceptional circumstances.

Trip credits are not guaranteed and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Offering a credit in one situation does not require Vagabond X to offer the same exception in another.

Traveler Replacements

If you are unable to attend, Vagabond X may allow you to transfer your spot to another eligible traveler, subject to approval.

Any costs associated with changing reservations, tickets, permits, or traveler information are the responsibility of the traveler.

Vagabond X does not guarantee that a replacement or transfer will be possible.

Changes or Cancellation by Vagabond X

In the unlikely event that Vagabond X must significantly alter, postpone, or cancel a trip, we will communicate available options directly with affected travelers.

Vagabond X is not responsible for additional expenses incurred by travelers outside of the trip package, including flights, visas, insurance, missed connections, or other independently booked travel arrangements.

Travel Insurance

We strongly recommend that every traveler purchase comprehensive travel insurance after booking.

Your policy should ideally include coverage for trip cancellation, trip interruption, medical emergencies, lost or delayed baggage, and other unexpected circumstances.

Travel insurance is the best way to protect your investment when something outside of your control prevents you from attending a trip.

Agreement to This Policy

By submitting a deposit or any payment toward a Vagabond X Travel experience, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Cancellation & Refund Policy.

Questions regarding cancellations or your booking can be directed to Vagabond X Travel before submitting payment.

GET LOST. GET ALIVE.
